TSC (Tetramethylhexadecenyl Succinoyl Cysteine)

TSC is a patented, next-generation molecule that acts as a bioactive super-lipid. It supports the restoration of the natural skin barrier while helping to modulate key inflammatory signaling pathways in the skin.

The molecule belongs to a class of isoprenylcysteine analogues, developed to influence cellular processes in the skin involved in irritation and inflammation. Research shows that these compounds can reduce inflammation-related cytokines in keratinocytes when the skin is exposed to bacterial triggers.

Through this combination of barrier support and biological modulation, TSC helps to make the skin calmer, stronger, and more resilient — without irritation.

In advanced skincare, TSC is used in formulas aimed at:

• skin barrier repair
• reduction of redness and sensitivity
• support of skin balance in stressed or acne-prone skin

The result is an ingredient that not only cares for the skin but also helps to support skin homeostasis.
